I mean I would expect him to sign it eventually, but if he signs and holds out, he gets fined. If he doesn’t sign they can’t fine him. I agree. It was click bait. I fully expect him to skip camp, but once the season starts he would start losing game checks. That's a beast of a different color. This article has some insight into the behind the scenes from the chiefs side. OB Jr's agent has been vocal about their side but we may never know if it's just spin. As the article says, no one should be surprised with this outcome. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/19/kansas-city-chiefs-frustrated-disappointed-orlando-brown-jr-contract-talks/ Edited July 19, 2022 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs_5627 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 If there is truth to this we may just run OBjr on the tag this year then let him try and get his bag somewhere else next year. https://www.nfl.com/videos/chadiha-frustration-for-chiefs-over-long-term-deal-talks-with-orlando-brown-jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGold Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Both sides are doing it's diligence using the media to get the other side to budge. tbf, I'm good either way with Brown. His play on the field does not even deserve the contract he was offered, but I get why they did it. He is a solid player, I would not hesitate to let him go if he wants to be the top played LT in AAV and guaranties. He's not that type of talent.

If he does ball out can’t they tag him again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would factor into the comp pick compensation. I would assume if we lost him, Veach would go after a top FA though. Yeah they can tag him again, it’d be around 21.5 Mil for the 2nd tag though. I don’t have a worry either way, either they work it out. Or they move on. Brown is a solid player, but he’s not irreplaceable by any means. The only slight worry I would have is they give in to his demands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayanfootball Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Save the $ by skipping the expensive FA sign. Go draft a stud OT who can play LT. This saves $ and you sign your guy to a 5yr. contract and lock in the savings. Great way to deal with the CAP too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) The model is to pick a full year ahead of the need and hope the player arrives early. That said, they have had success finding players through trades and off the street. Give the FO enough time they will find something useful if they haven't already. Geron Christian may be that guy. He was a 3rd round pick and has 16 starts over four years. He is no star but he should be at least solid with strength leaning to pass-protection (PFF pass-pro grade 78.8). With the strength of the IOL, we can handle solid from the bookends especially if they can pass block. https://arrowheadaddict.com/2022/07/15/geron-christian-solid-plan-b-chiefs-left-tackle/ Edited July 20, 2022 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just wondering: what's wrong with WR Marcus Kemp? As far as I know he's still a free agent. Betting on himself to find a role as injury replacement instead of a job as a primarily ST player?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayanfootball Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Per Adam Teicher, ESPN, The Chiefs have several candidates to replace Brown, though none are as accomplished at left tackle. Coach Andy Reid suggested the Chiefs would look at left guard Joe Thuney, who filled in well at left tackle in one game last season in place of the injured Brown. "We know Joe Thuney can do it in a heartbeat,'' Reid said. "If we need to go that direction, we'll go that direction.'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 This is why we have camp. We try Thuney at LT with Allegretti at LG. We try Geron Christian at LT. Personally, I think Brown waits to sign the tag mostly because he doesn't want to go through another training camp. He signs about two weeks before the season starts and is ready for game #1. If not, Christian can pass block and Thuney can get some reps in during preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Definitely needs to be addressed, what's the KC perspective ?? https://sports.yahoo.com/patrick-mahomes-willingness-less-help-001818269.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
